So I went shopping yesterday with a friend. It is a guilty pleasure of mine although I do prefer to call it my hobby. I don't know what it is about clothes. Honestly, they are way overpriced, and they are a terrible investment. You don't get your money back at all from them, but yet so many people still put so much money into them. In fact, I have a closet full of clothes, I really don't need more, but yet I still love to go out and browse shops looking for a killer outfit to join my closet.
Don't get me wrong, all wardrobes need updating and revising, but I know many people, myself included, who own way more clothes than they know what to do with this.
I don't know about everyone else, but I know for me it is just fun to shop. I enjoy looking at what is new and out there. Trying on clothes to see what different ones look like on me is fun. Finally, picking out one or two to bring home and add to my wardrobe is the prize. I love finding new outfits for special occasions. Or even looking for one for a future occasion of which I have no idea of yet. There's just something about shopping and finding an outfit that looks amazing on that just feels good. This however does lead to excessive clothes and it really is a terrible investment. Even on sale some clothes are so very expensive. I went into this cute little boutique in the mall yesterday and everything in there was so expensive but very very cute. I only came out with a pair of $3 earrings and honestly, that felt like a steal in this store. I say this because when I found my way to the sale section they had shirts on "sale" for $40. $40! Imagine the original price of that shirt then? And that's not even a complete outfit, that is just a shirt you are getting. Their sale section was far from what I consider a sale but the clothes were cute enough that many people would get them anyway. Granted, I have found that the more pricey an item is, it tends to be better quality and will last. But honestly, with the rate I shop, only a select few clothes last my style preferences beyond a few years so is getting quality really that important when you shop as much as I do? Some outfits, yes, you will keep forever and it will be worth it. Most of the time however I find this is not the case.
Enough on clothes though, I'm sure I'm boring you but for some reason I felt like talking about them and how ridiculous and yet fun clothes can be.
